Until recently the term “true colloidal silver” was unheard of. True colloidal silver has now become an industry buzz word to further commercialize (confuse) customers. True colloidal silver is clearly defined by science as “silver particles held in solution”. Now if we were to clarify all colloidal silver products sold we would say the IDEAL colloidal silver are those colloidal silver products that have nano sized particles. Nanoparticles with the greatest surface area are the easiest to absorb into the bloodstream. This is usally 0.005 microns or less.

Non-ionic colloidal silver is the metal “silver” that is in suspension but in the size of particle small enough in the atomic level to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Non-ionic colloidal silver is produced using very high electrical voltage. Non-ionic colloidal silver has less than 20% silver ions in solution and has a very light translucent amber-grey color. This is an ideal Colloidal Silver.

Ionic colloidal silver is water soluble, is clear as water, has an electron removed in low voltage electrolisis, and is highly reactive with other elements which allows to combine to form unwanted compounds in the body. Ionic colloidal silver IS NOT IDEAL for assimilation into the body.

All Colloids will be colored or translucent because of the Tyndall effect, which is light passing through the liquid and becoming scattered by colloid (metal) particles. All colloidal silver has color that can be discern ed by use of the spectrometer. The more silver particles in solution the more light can bounce off of them. The color will vary from a very pale yellow-grey to dark amber-brown with the higher PPM.
